Any one know what size resistor I will need for my stilo's steering wheel? Have fitted and aftermarket boss and wheel so need that dam light off [emoji106]?

Stilo airbag resistor
One big enough to stop you going out through the screen
Pretty sure it's termed an "emulator"
I'll SEARCH in now..
Cheers iv had a quick look but can find a definite answer PS I don't like airbags [emoji23]
Looked at that but it don't say what ohm I need for the steering wheel [emoji20]
Airbag resistors used for test purposes are usually within the range 1Ω to 6.8Ω.
For 'trial & error' purposes, you could buy 2 sets of individual resistors from an electronics supplier (RS, Farnell, Maplins etc.) but they will probably only stock the preferred values, i.e. 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, 2.7, 3.9, 4.7, 5.6, 6.8 and 8.2Ω. You should get maximum 5% tolerance versions, and will need 2 sets because the Stilo has a dual stage driver's airbag, so 2 connectors.
I vaguely remember that the Stilo steering wheel airbag needed 3.9Ω test resistors.
Naturally, I wouldn't advise substituting airbag devices with resistors, other than for test purposes.
